Capable of being transferred to another owner or given away, usually referring to property or legal rights.
From Latin alienabilis, from alienare (to make another's, to transfer) + -abilis (capable of being). The root alienus means belonging to another or foreign, from alius (other).
Most of your possessions are alienable—you can sell or gift them—but in modern law, certain things like voting rights and human organs are deliberately made non-alienable to protect fairness and human rights.
